Let Me hear your voice',

"Let Me hear your voice!" Song of Solomon 2:14

This is the language of Jesus to His redeemed people. He loves . . .
to see us come to His throne;
to hear us pour out our hearts before Him. 

The prayer of the upright is His delight!

It may be as mournful as the cooing of the dove, and there may be as much sameness in it too—but He loves to hear it! We are wearied with telling the oft-repeated tale—and we imagine that He will be so too. But no, He says, "Let Me hear your voice!"Shall we refuse Him? Rather, let us go to Him more frequently. Let us . . .
confess our sins,
mourn over our follies,
lament our proneness to backslide,
plead His precious promises,
seek the enjoyment of His presence,
beseech Him to pardon our sins, and
beg every blessing which He has to bestow. 

We cannot go to Him too often!

We cannot ask for too much at His hands!

We cannot be too frank with Him!

He asks us to pray. He exhorts us to come often to His throne. He expostulates with us because we stay away. 

He sends troubles, trials, and afflictions—to force us to draw near to Him!

In every comfort He says, "Let Me hear your voice!" 

In every trial He says, "Call upon Me—I will deliver you!"

Beloved, go this night to Jesus, tell Him you are come in obedience to His call, and let Him hear your voice . . .
acknowledging His goodness,
pleading His promises,
and seeking His grace!
